Pro Tip:  [b]If there's a school you really want your kid to love, don't go on dismal day.  It's amazing how much weather affects their opinion.[/b][/quote]

+1  DS saw W&M on a dreary day and said it was a definite no.

Specialty tours/sessions also can really make a difference.  Took DD to a STEM panel at W&M and it was three girls chattering away about their research interests and DD could absolutely see herself hanging out with them so it went high on the list even though the tour itself was nothing special.[/quote]

We didn't have much choice -- we'd flown to see a distant school that seemed like it fit all my kid's criteria. Then it rained.

That my kid was still interested after that was a sign it was the right place, I guess.

(When I was in high school, my parents swung through Oberlin on a family vacation. It was gray and humid and I had a migraine, so I get the impact of peripheral stuff on a response to a college, but what can you do? I like pretty much every Oberlin grad I've ever met as an adult, but I wasn't interested in going. Things work out.)[/quote]
